[Leica] Does anyone own/use one of these holsters?

[richard at richardmanphoto.com (Richard Man)]

I just ordered 2000 "dongle" plastic cases from China, custom made to our
spec. At 2000 pieces, each one is about 25 cents.

However, the initial tooling cost is $2000, and that's with a discount
since we piggback the order with one of our customer's.

This guy will probably sell no more than, I don't know, lets say 100 units
in his lifetime, top. It probably take him 3-4 hours to design and check
the prototypes to make sure it fits etc.
